About Carrière de Dour
Carrière de Dour is a flooded chalk quarry in Wallonia with stepped shelves, easy shore entry, and a handful of submerged training objects. The site is popular for first dives and structured practice because the basin is calm, readable, and simple to navigate from the bank. It suits divers who want a freshwater plan with cold layers, modest depth, and a site that rewards clean orientation more than big current or wide-open water.
